They are attempting to separate the SS from the official Third Reich by distinguishing as a paramilitary force distinct from the Wermacht. This is only true in the most technical superficial sense. In reality, the Wermacht were invading most of Europe while the SS were literally facilitating the holocaust in all occupied territories.

The German ambassador to Canada literally participated in a standing ovation to an actual veteran of the Waffen SS

Hmm I think he is right to criticize these types of policies that are still held by Columbia even under Petro, but I wonder if his insults against the man are too harsh? Petro seems like a breath of fresh air for Columbia in many ways even though he's far from perfect. Either way, sandinistas are incredibly based and I'm inclined to believe Ortega'a analysis in general

A guy I know, real nice guy but super liberal, was telling me how his Cuban grandfather suffered under Castro. Sure enough, when he got into more details, it turns out his grandfather was a wealthy landlord whose farmland got collectivized and he only had to go to jail after he got very vocal about trying to get people to oppose the revolution (in which he was very much the minority BTW, his own friend turned him in)

It's not about ideology. It's about providing an alternative to the hegemon. Seeing those who are usually imperialist running dogs now beginning to choose the alternative is a win.

 

Obviously I'm going to see the movie this week. I know a lot about the subject already, but I thought it would be nice to hype myself with a Marxist perspective of the events in the meantime. I recently listened to an episode of the Socialist Program with Brian Becker on this subject, and I'm hoping y'all can recommend some more content like that to refresh my memory on the topic and keep me grounded in the right state of mind. (I should clarify, I'm ok with documentaries, but I need mostly audio based content because- being a single parent -I am limited to consuming education mostly while I'm at work)

Apparently it is available on Hulu which I happen to have. I wouldn’t go out of my way to watch it, but it would be extremely convenient now. So I don’t think for one second that Hulu would host anything which is even remotely praising of Stalin, but I’m wondering if it is at least tolerable for a socialist viewer. Is there any historical accuracy at all? Does humor and entertainment outweigh the ideological position of capitalist Hollywood at all? Will I just get mad if I watch it, or can I enjoy it in the sense that no western media will ever do justice to the history of the USSR and its ok to laugh a little?

I went to the Center's website that is linked on Wikipedia, and the all the images on there are porn. I can't read Chinese so idk what the text says. What's up with that??

Edit: I initially misunderstood your point.

It is a new headline about a thing that happened in the US.

I once encountered an old friend of mine at Black Lives Matter rally. He apparently joined a white supremacists org and was counter-protesting with them. Wished I could have confronted him, but the police had the two sides separated by fences. Him and his buddies ended up getting arrested after they picked a fight with someone

 

It is the birthday of comrades Zhou Enlai and Rosa Luxembourg, and the death anniversary of comrades Hugo Chavez and Joseph Stalin.

I am celebrating their lives and accomplishments today! And a hearty Rest in Power to all of them! ¡Viva el comunismo! And may we carry on their revolutionary character today!
